The only way to figure this question out would be for a panel of serious interviewers to ask her specific questions about her views on the Constitution, various policies, etc.

Unfortunately, based on the debates during the primaries, the media seems a lot more interested in generating brief soundbites than anything else.

I believe it would be a hugh culture shock. Does she seem intelligent? Perhaps. Feisty? Yes Enjoyable - sure. These are good qualities but these qualities do not make for VP material - and definitely not Pres material should anything happen to McCain.

This ends my debate on Sara P.
Anyone else notice she only repeats the same one-liners read from the telepromter -over and over and over-Dan Quail come home-all is forgiven.

This is one smart lady, and I'll bet that she knows how many states there are, which is more than I can say of Obama.

Actually at the convention, the teleprompter went down, and she gave the speech largely from memory, and added a few lines.

Obama cannot speak at all without the teleprompter. Ever heard him try? "Uhhhhh, ummmmmm, well I uhhhh, mmmmm."

You people are scared to death of this woman, are you not? Your criticism is weak and unfounded. She has far more experience than Obama, who claims his largely failed campaign, and community organizer (for ACORN, which has been sued mutlple times for voter fraud, and forced to settle). That is the extent of his experience.

Has he done anything else? Name it.

Not that anyone is ready and up to speed on day one -- that's why they give you a couple of months to prep; but the irony is, she is better prepared than all the other three! The US senate does not prepare one for the job of chief executive.

Well, if Obama is a celebrity. Ask a celebrity about McCain/Palin.
